CDU – Schäuble remains in the Bundestag – politics

Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble does not want to stand for the federal executive committee at the planned special party conference of the CDU. “He is not available for a candidacy for the federal executive committee of his party,” said a spokesman for Schäuble on Tuesday. The newspapers of the Funke media group had previously reported on it. The 79-year-old wants to stay in the Bundestag for the full legislative period; in his constituency in Offenburg he won the direct mandate again in the election. “He intends to exercise the direct mandate for the full electoral term,” said the spokesman. After the debacle in the federal election, the CDU wants to re-elect the entire federal executive committee at a special party conference.
